  • Know Your Product Blotter Paper Archival Print by Ben Frost

    Ben Frost Know Your Product Blotter Paper Archival Print by Ben Frost

    Know Your Product Blotter Paper Limited Edition Archival Pigment Print Art on Perforated Blotter Paper by Ben Frost pop culture LSD artwork. Australian contemporary artist Ben Frost is best known for his bold, irreverent Pop Art. His instantly recognizable take on pop culture twists up everyday iconography from the world’s biggest brands. Subverting meaning and messages from the mainstream media, Frost’s scything commentary on advertising, entertainment, and politics is both confronting and controversial. The essence of Frost’s commentary is established on the basis of subverting the meaning and the messages, promoted by the mainstream media. In other words and, as he has stated in the past: “The less you fill your mind with the trappings of advertising and bad television, the more space you have in your brain for things of value”. At the same time, his take on modern pop culture is equally compelling. Mainstream media, advertisements, and politics can be identified as some of his main fields of interest, which he utilizes and mixes up in a controversial formation. The word controversial is not used incidentally. What Ben Frost’s art is doing is, essentially, the appropriation and weaponization of imagery against the same system that gave birth to it.

    Barrels Of Fun- 18 x 15 Limited Edition Archival Pigment Prints on 310gsm Fine Art Paper by Bob Dob Graffiti Street Artist Modern Pop Art. 2016 Signed & Numbered Limited Edition of 50 Artwork Size 18x15 "This painting was created for my solo show last November called “Exit Home.” The narrative for the show was how numb the general public has become to violence through our entertainment. I took two very recognizable pop culture characters, Mario and Luigi, and removed them from their world and put them into ours as LA gang members. My studio mate at the time was Greg Simkins who helped with the graffiti. All the paintings from the show had elements of L.A. gang culture but this piece “Barrels of Fun” focused on the whole story in one shot.I tried to bring in as many characters from Super Mario Bros as I could. Mario, Luigi, Donkey Kong, and Princess Peach are in the front car with Bowser and some Koopas getting blown up and a few Goombas hanging out on the street." - Bob Dob

Nintendo NES & Game Boy Graffiti Street Pop Artwork

Nintendo's Cultural Cartridge: NES and Game Boy's Influence on Street Art

Nintendo's Entertainment System (NES) and the Game Boy represent more than just milestones in the evolution of video gaming; they are iconic symbols of a cultural revolution. Their influence stretches far beyond the living rooms and arcades of the past, infiltrating the realms of street pop art and graffiti artwork. These consoles, which brought characters like Mario and Zelda into the mainstream consciousness, have become cherished motifs for artists seeking to evoke nostalgia and comment on societal trends through their work. The NES and Game Boy, products of the 1980s and 1990s, respectively, have become emblematic of the era, featuring prominently in artworks that seek to capture the essence of these decades. Often influenced by their interactions with these gaming systems, street artists integrate 8-bit graphics and familiar gaming scenes into their murals and installations. The pixelated aesthetic of NES games, in particular, translates well to the mosaic-like nature of graffiti artwork, with each spray-painted square reminiscent of the on-screen pixels gamers grew up with.

From Screens to Streets: Gaming Icons in Urban Art

The transition of video game iconography from screens to streets is a testament to the lasting impact of Nintendo's creations. Characters and motifs from NES and Game Boy games are familiar in cities worldwide, as street artists use them to connect with a diverse audience that spans generations. By incorporating these elements into their work, artists create a shared language of experience and memory that resonates with anyone who has ever picked up a controller. Such artwork often reflects the dichotomy between the digital escapism of the NES and Game Boy and the gritty reality of urban life. Murals may depict Mario leaping across brick walls or Pokémon battles unfolding on the sides of buildings, blending the fantasy of gaming with the raw canvas of the city. This juxtaposition entertains, engages, and provokes thought on the relationship between technology, entertainment, and community within the urban landscape.

Pixelated Pop Art: The Legacy of Nintendo's Classics

The legacy of the NES and Game Boy in pop culture is further cemented through their recurring appearances in street pop art and graffiti artwork. As a form of pixelated pop art, these gaming references evoke a sense of shared cultural history, capturing the collective heart of a community that has grown alongside the evolution of the video game industry. The simple yet iconic imagery of Nintendo's classic games lends itself to reinterpretation and reinvention, allowing artists to celebrate the past while simultaneously making a contemporary statement. Moreover, the global recognition of Nintendo's gaming library has turned NES and Game Boy-inspired street art into a universal language. It transcends geographical and linguistic barriers, creating a global dialogue that audiences worldwide can understand and appreciate. Having become cultural ambassadors, the characters and consoles contribute to a visual vocabulary that is inherently inclusive and broadly appealing. Nintendo's NES and Game Boy have thus transcended their original function as entertainment devices to become integral components of street pop art and graffiti artwork. Through these mediums, they continue to engage with audiences as relics of a bygone era and as active participants in the ongoing conversation about art, culture, and shared human experience. Artists who draw upon the rich visual history of these consoles are not merely indulging in nostalgia; they are acknowledging these gaming systems' profound role in shaping the aesthetic and cultural landscape of the modern world.
